I would think CO2 and methane would get dispersed throughout the world not just where it is created. most oil wells are just north of the equator, so
that might play into it.
yes it's true that eventually the greenhouse gases dissipate into the total atmosphere.
but i'm thinking that the Jet-Streams will sorta concentrate the northern climate and air in the northern atmosphere-
and the southern Jet Stream will act likewise with that volume of air
I have not witnessed as yet any balloonist go around the world and cross the equator in the process, so there seems to be a type of segregation of the
air masses to their hemisphere, latitude of origin?
.....sure there's a lot of dispersal of a volcano's ash & plume, but any eruption generally follows the wind current and 'bands' the earth in a
narrow belt for a while, as did Mount St. Helens...
and i'd guess that for months the upper atmosphere may be hazy-er in the latitude of the event moreso than say in Argentina or Australia
but this model probably involves a lot more factors that tend to present the northern hemisphere as seeming to be reacting more to global warming.
conventional wisdom may say this idea is absurd, that gasses will quickly diffuse in the same manner that a drop of dye will dissapate in a pool of
water
...i think otherwise,
have a nice day
